LFF, they sound pretty pretty good, they're less digital sounding. Some audiophiles have converted their LP collection to digital using some really expensive turntable/arm/mc cartridge and ADC setup.

Most that I have seen floating around also use the EMU-0404USB. The trick with vinyl is that the ADC is really only one part of a long and complicated process. First, you have to find the right LP, clean it, remove static build up, adjust your TT, preamp, etc. That just to play it too!

I know a lot of audiophiles who have converted their LP collection to digital using some really expensive turntable/arm/mc cartridge and ADC setup as well. Some do a great job. Others...well...decent would be a kind word.

My car was broken into the other night, and a whole bunch of my CD's were stolen. Most of them was newish music that doesn't raise many complecations when replacing.
But my Zeppelin CD's were stolen, and I don't know what to buy. Should I just go to the music store and replace them with what they have there? Or should I look at getting a box set or something like this Amazon.com: Definitive Collection Mini LP Replica: Led Zeppelin: Music

well said.
this is why unless you're blessed with serious LP gear and the expertise to use it, one should let the pros make things for us.

again, the best way to play and listen to the great guitars in LZ 4 is this way!

these japanese SHM-CD are now easy to get at about $25 to $30 in various sites. one site even have the entire 12 SHM-CD collection for as low as $260.

I am hard fun of Led Zeppelin but very very very upset with quality of their CDs.

I have their 10 CD box The Complete Studio Recordings Digitally Remastered by Jimmy Page.

3 questions:

1. What is the difference between Remastered and the ones you mentioned - Mastered?

2. What do you think about quality of 10 CDs box?

3. My friend bought recently LZ 2 that was remastered from the master tape. How to find this CD? Info on sites doesn't provide details if it is CD that have been remastered specificly from the master tape.

Thank you very much in advance.

1) The difference is that the remasters have a ton of compression and bad EQ as well as some noise reduction. ALL OF IT BAD!

2) They suck.

3) Also sucks. Getting it from the master tape is only part of the equation. You need to properly transfer it, properly master it and restore it and then, properly dither it and burn it for replication.

It's great. The box opens from the top with a little ribbon tab sticking out. There are hardbound books containing 2 albums each and their original artwork. You just flip it over to see the other one right side up. Except for Physical Graffiti because its 2 disc so it has it's own. There are 4 bonus tracks at the end of Coda. And there is a nice booklet with pictures and some info that I haven't read yet. I just got mine for Valentines day and I almost wanted to take it back because I own a few already, but then I could only find a few so it seemed like a good idea to keep it.

I forgot to mention this is "The Complete Studio Recordings" box that I have and it contains the 90's remasters.
